Dear fellow hams. I have the pleasure to announce you that between the days of October 07-12 2003, both inclusive, we will be active from the YV9 calling district as 4M9YY at the grid locator FJ69gw, this is the first time in the last 13 years that any serious effort is made to give both, the 4M9 prefix and the FJ69 grid, to the rest of the world.
Our group will be active on Satellite, 70 cm, 2 meters and 6 meters as well as in all HF ham bands and modes (10, 12, 15, 17 ,20 ,30 ,40 ,80 and 160 meters, SSB/CW/RTTY/PSK31/PSK63). Located some 300 Km south of Caracas and very near to the Brazilian and Colombian borders, 4M9YY will be a great opportunity for hams in these countries to try a direct QSO in 2 meters and 70 centimeters with Venezuela, 4M9YY could also be, if propagation allows, a good time for hams in the southern portion of the continent, specially in Argentina and Uruguay, to experience some TEP openings in 6 and 2 meters. 73/DX Jose M.
